We all experienced stress and I hope these meditations have helped you work through some of those stressful moments.

Did you know that we have an entire podcast dedicated to helping you deal with stress, anxiety, and worry?

It's called Meditation for Anxiety.

Every day, there's a special meditation for you that can help you during those high intensity moments, the daily management of stress, and even

help you sleep when your mind is racing with stressful thoughts. So follow meditation for anxiety

on the same podcast player you're using now so you can have these special meditations

at your fingertips when you need them. Right now, I want to share one of my favorite episodes

on the Meditation for Anxiety podcast called Anxiety Release. I hope you really enjoy it. Allow your eyes to close

and your body to gently soften.

Breathe. Breathe deeply, completely.
